learn_russianTwo questions:
1. How would you translate "I will be able to visit my family often" into Russian? It seems to me that this requires imperfective, but I've never used мочь as a future imperfective... is it possible to say "я буду мочь навещать..."? This буду мочь combination I've never seen before but it makes logical sense to me.
2. When you have a sentence that contains two words or phrases representing the same thing -- like "I read the book "Anna Karenina" or "This is a song by the group Nautilius Pompilius" where book = Anna Karenina and group = Nautilius Pompilius, does the first word or phrase absorb the declension or do both parts get declined? For instance, is it Я прочитал книгу Анну Каренину or Я прочитал книгу Анна Каренина? Это––песня группы Наутилиуса Помпилиуса or Это––песня группы Наутилиус Помпилиус?
Thanks much
